Pasta e fagioli, meaning "pasta and beans", is a traditional Italian dish. Like many other Italian favorites, the dish started as a peasant dish, being composed of inexpensive ingredients. Simple, easy and healthy!

Sangria is my go-to cocktail for parties because I can made a big batch ahead of time so it’s all ready to go when my guests arrive. Super simple but really delicious, and the ingredient combinations are endless.

A crostata is a rustic, free form baked tart. It's called a galette in France and a Crostata in Italy... And since I'm pretty sure I was Italian in another life....I call it a Crostata! Endless variations and super simple to put together.
